The Yankees could be without third baseman Chase Headley for the remainder of the first half of the season. Headley, who has missed three straight games with a calf injury, could be held out until after the All-Star break.

"That thought has crossed my mind," manager Joe Girardi said, per the New York Post. "We will continue to evaluate and see where we are at."

For his part, Headley feels ready to take the field.

"I took some more good steps," Headley said. "I feel really good. No issues."

Yankees third baseman Chase Headley was held out of Thursday's lineup against the Athletics, the team announced.

He was replaced at third base by Cole Figueroa, who will bat ninth. Headley is dealing with a calf injury, which also kept him out of Wednesday's contest. Headley is hitting .254 with two home runs and five RBI in his last 15 games.
